“It’s a bustling location that will give young artists exposure that they wouldn’t get in a normal gallery. It also means that people who might not usually seek out art are exposed to it.”

The artists involved in the project are also competing for prize money, with one winner already determined and another to be decided by the public.

A panel of judges yesterday decided the winner of the non-acquisitive $1000 prize, to be announced on 14 November as part of the Master Builders Australia’s national conference on 14-16 November.

People will be invited to vote for their favourite entry while visiting the exhibition. The People’s Choice Award will be announced during the final week of the exhibition, with the winner receiving a $200 art supplies gift voucher.
